Food tour episode 1:
Walking on a brisk winter morning in Toronto to the Hart House’s gym, my sleepy soul was refreshed by the 30-min cardio I did, as well as the company of the infamous “Rainy Men” song.
Right after the workout, I had a craving for mushroom and my palette was indulged by this little place on Yonge St called “Not just Noodles” cafe. The price is like 70% of Vancouver’s and the food is not very oily and with little MSG.
Food tour episode 2:
Venturing to West of Toronto in the Kitchener/ Waterloo area, passing by with all the blue-chip company’s headquarters on the Highway 401, we arrived to this small town in St. Jacobs. Guess what I saw first? The first Home Hardware store in Canada.

Finished Brooms on display at the Hamel Broom.
This charming little town house the Mennonites people, which is similiar to the Amish people on the Simple Life show. Housed with many local hand crafts and art and craft stores, we came across a store called Hamel Broom just specializing on the old-fashioned brooms. Later on, we routed back to Markham and had dinner at the pretty cool cantonese style congee noodle house called the Congee Wong.
